A Flurry?

I think I saw what may have been a lone flurry.  It sure felt chilly enough for it.

In March, as I was in the hospital, Dennis was home alone.  Dennis lost his wallet.  He revisited all the places he had been in town and also checked the police department.  Nothing.  Somehow his wallet went through the washing machine and clothes dryer here on Stauffer Avenue.  As Dennis is apt to leave clothes in the clothes drier until there is a next load . . . his wallet was lost until I got home from the hospital.  The only things that didn’t make it out intact were the Medicare card and the Social Security Card.

Today we decided to drive to Fairmont and visit the Social Security Office and get the duplicate work started.  Though the office hours began at nine, it was locked up tight.  All the windows, including the glass doors were papered with printed info of various items.  Dennis noticed off to one side a telephone number to call.  All questions were to be answered by listening to prompts.  We finally got “a live one.”  We can expect the Medicare card in 3-4 days but we need to get the duplicate Social Security card by going online.  WTF!

The trip was not in vane as there was a Fairway Grocery store in the same strip mall. 

We are happy to have the next step in the wallet renewal and this afternoon Dennis is getting the push mower tricked out, complete with jacket and gloves on.  Tomorrow is to be cooler yet.  We might still catch a flurry.
